Native to the Americas in the Old World, chili peppers returned to Europe in the fifteenth century with Columbus's fleet, and then spread throughout the world. . The Medno people of this world encountered chili peppers earlier, because they produced chili peppers on the mainland, although they lost the ability to cultivate them as a large number of people moved to Haicheng, but chili peppers were still able to be cultivated in some places where they could be cultivated, and chili peppers were very popular as a condiment.

However, Xiao Jing's mind is not on Jacqueline's body now, Cheng Jun has to pull him over to eat when he has a female companion by his side, naturally the drunkard does not mean to drink, there must be other things to say. Cheng Jun was just sitting there at the moment, with his hands on the table, looking at the bowl of egg fried rice on the table, and smiled helplessly, "Actually, we are still very good, at least the living conditions are much better, you must know that someone has made the plane BBQ because they want to eat egg fried rice, we at least want to eat here." ”

"Yes," Cheng Jun nodded, thought for a moment, and reached out to the stall owner in front of him who was still cleaning up the tables and chairs, "Three bottles of salt soda!" After receiving an affirmative reply from the stall owner, he took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Jing and said, "I want to resign from the Planning Commission and go to other departments." ”

The ship is not cool in the distance, and the moon is too skilled, "Huh? Xiao Jing was stunned, he really didn't think about it, he thought for a moment and said, "We don't need these two things, first of all, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade is responsible for the diplomatic department, isn't Gu Qingqian negotiating with them now?" As she spoke, she nodded at Jacqueline, who was carefully picking up a peanut and putting it in her mouth, "In fact, we don't have many opportunities to deal with outside forces at this stage, and most of the opportunities are to conduct business negotiations, and at the same time solve diplomatic problems by the way." ”

Jacqueline looked at the glass bottle in front of her, it was not that she had never seen the earthen bun of the glass bottle, on the contrary, because of her identity, the time she had come into contact with the glass products was much earlier than that of the Medenor people. She remembered that when she was a child, there was a small glass bottle that was not much bigger than a palm, and that small glass bottle was a national gift from Yaning to her father, and his father gave it to her, and she kept it as a treasure until she saw the perfume bottle made by the Chinese people. But now the glass bottles in front of her were much larger, and they looked basically the same in appearance, with a big belly and a slender neck, like a proud long-necked goose. At the top of the glass bottle there is a wire wrap around it, then crossed at the top, fixing a cork at the top.

Xiao Jing saw her take the bottle and shake it twice, and hurriedly reached out to take it, pulled the wire wrapped around the cork, and then pulled the cork directly out. With a crisp sound, the cork was suddenly pulled out, and the liquid in the bottle suddenly formed a large bubble, forming a thick foam on the surface of the water, and it was getting higher and higher, gradually filling the slender neck of the glass bottle. Xiao Jing saw Jacqueline's good face, smiled slightly, handed the bottle to Jacqueline, and then picked up another bottle and opened it, and took a sip in his mouth.

Jacqueline remembered the extra sweet drink in a goblet she had drunk at the dinner party before, and it tasted exactly the same except that there weren't as many bubbles still bubbling out as they are now—they were also salt sodas, but they ran out of bubbles because they had been waiting in the large basin for the guests to pick them up. She couldn't help but show a happy smile on her face, this sweet and sour taste evoked some interesting memories in her heart, and being carried by these memories, Xiao Jing's appearance in her eyes was much more interesting.

"That's not the case," Xiao Jing hurriedly opened the remaining bottle of salt soda on the table, handed it to Cheng Jun, and then held the bottle and touched Cheng Jun's bottle lightly, making a crisp clattering sound, "Take a sip first, we don't have beer here, let's have a dry time with salt soda." Saying that, he took a sip and said, "In fact, a person engaged in a job, you will accumulate experience over time, you used to be a warehouse manager, and it must be no problem for these warehouses to manage inventory or something, right?" As he spoke, he glanced at the table and shouted to the stall owner standing in the distance, "A plate of fried peanuts!" Then he said to Cheng Jun, "Now if you resign, where can I find someone who is familiar with the existing supplies of the Senate to take over?" ”

"Was it your idea or hers?" Xiao Jing asked directly, and Cheng Jun was stunned, almost choking on the soda, "No, of course it's my idea, she has always done a good job, and she has done a very good job in implementing the regulations of the Senate." ”

"I'm going, of course not going to shoot!" Cheng Jun laughed, "I have an idea I want to put forward, and you happen to be here today, so I'll tell you about it first." ”

"How many departments does our Senate have now?" Cheng Jun saw the stall owner walk away, and continued, "The Committee of Agriculture, the Working Committee, the Planning Commission, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, the Army, the Police, the Civil Affairs Committee and the Construction Committee, the Ministry of Medical and Health, and the Financial Department. ”

"Nope!" Xiao Jing paused and said, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jacqueline clumsily holding two chopsticks in her hands, equally clumsily holding peanuts in the peanut saucer. Cheng Jun didn't pay attention to the woman in front of him, but said to Xiao Jing, "We lack a foreign affairs and colonial department and an economic development planning department. ”

"You are wrong, most of us in the Senate are wrong, the duty of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade is to do business!" Cheng Jun said a little disapprovingly, picked up a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth, and said while chewing, "The main purpose of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade is to develop commerce and ensure the normal operation of trade, and let them be in charge of diplomacy, which is equivalent to letting a monkey plow the field, which is not the material in this regard at all." You see, on the eve of the Opium War, the British were so worried about the huge trade deficit on the continent that they couldn't sleep, and they found that evil way, and through the drug trade, they sent these deprived things to our country, and then obtained the trade surplus. In the final analysis, it's for money, money can make ghosts grind, this sentence is a wise saying wherever it is thrown, money is something that can solve all problems. ”

Xiao Jing turned his head, and it turned out that the people who came were Shui Wangtai and Xue Fanxing. Since the young couple got married, they have lived in the villa in the old new district, although they have been working hard, but Xue Fanxing's belly has never seen it grow, Shui Wangtai doesn't care too much about this matter, but Xue Fanxing is a little worried and can't sleep. Since she doesn't seem to have talent for giving birth, she might as well catch Shui Wangtai in love, and can't let him have the heart to go outside to find the little one, so she will pull Shui Wangtai out for a night run every day. At the moment, the young couple was wearing a couple's sportswear - Cheng Jun only glanced at it and recognized that these were still from the three thousand sets that were wholesaled at one time from a certain lion in Fujian before the crossing. "It's good, but what's the use?" Cheng Jun said slowly, "Comrade Shui Wangtai, as the person in charge of the financial department, it is impossible for you not to feel the trouble caused by too much money, right?" ”
